1. while backing down a hill the brakes release and you free fall a few feet. Dealer brought out another vehicle to test it and this one did the same thing. Dealer contacted Toyota technical ops and they said this was as designed. 2. while braking the RPM jumps up as high as 1500 RPM causing the vehicle lurch forward.
